Pregnancy announcements are a fun, unique way to share the news that your family is about to get a little bigger.
There are tons of ideas out there to make your announcement reflect your personality and family dynamic. One idea I absolutely adore is this DIY Disneyland-and-Starbucks-themed announcement from Instructables user amishskate!
The interesting pairing of themes is perfect for anyone who loves the magic of Disney and the delicious drinks from Starbucks. All you need are some Starbucks cups, passes to Disney, some Mickey Mouse ears, and a camera.
The DIY portion of this birth announcement is easy to follow and totally customizable. If there's a particular place your family likes to vacation, you can make this simple project your own by switching up the location!
Are you planning on surprising your friends and family with a fun pregnancy announcement in the future? We'd love to hear about your ideas in the comments!
This crafty couple wanted their pregnancy announcement to be a reflection of their family's interests. They happened to have some passes to Disneyland and a love for Starbucks, and that's how the hybrid project began.
The first step is to pick up your Starbucks cup in varying sizes. This family used two Ventis for Mom and Dad, two Grandes for their older children, one Tall for their toddler, and a Doppio cup for the new baby.
Next, modify the lid to make room for the Mickey Mouse ears. Be sure to carefully slice through the lid so that the lip remains attached to the cup.
The Mickey Mouse ears are next. This part is very simple! All you need is some black craft paper and glue. You can use the bottom of your coffee cup to make perfect circles for the ears.
After you've drawn everyone's names on your coffee cups, it's time to head out to the most magical place in the world, Disneyland!
This couple lined all the coffee cups in order according to size in front of Cinderella's castle. A quick tip, if there are any rocks or pieces of gravel on the ground, put them in the cups so they don't blow over!
Lastly, take your pictures home and add some clever text using your favorite photo-editing program. Everyone will absolutely love this clever announcement!
